Answer: Fever-Bugz® is a temperature indicator. It is good for continuous fever monitoring and is accurate to +-1 degree Fahrenheit. However, Fever-Bugz® should not be used to manage important health concerns, as it is only a fever indicator. Always use a thermometer to confirm temperature readings, particularly if you see any unusual readings. Do not rely only on temperature readings. If you have concerns, seek medical advice.

Question: My child is younger than 12 months; can I use Fever-Bugz®?

Answer: Fever-Bugz® is recommended for use only on children 12 months and older due to the fact that below 12 months the skin maybe very sensitive.

Question: How do I use Fever-Bugz®?

Answer: Peel Fever-Bugz® off the protective plastic strip and apply it directly to the forehead (recommended location), armpit or chest. Within seconds Fever-Bugz® will light up and indicates N (for normal), 37, 38, 39, 40 C (and over). The temperature reading corresponds to the highest figure which appears green. If green does not appear, this means the temperature is in transition between two indicating numbers. When continuous monitoring is no longer necessary, simply remove Fever-Bugz® and discard. Do not reuse.

Answer: Fever-Bugz® offers continuous monitoring up to 48 hours. However, depending on your children’s skin type, activity and the Fever-Bugz® placement, it might fall off sooner. Additionally if your child peels off and reapplies the bug, it might alter the accuracy and lead it to fall off prematurely.
